Michigan Panthers kicker Jake Bates is going to be playing in the NFL in 2024.
That’s what football fans believe after the United Football League star has been making noise with some monster field goals for the Panthers.
Bates hit a 62-yard field goal this week, just a week after kicking a game-winning 64-yard field goal.

It has been reported that Bates has already been contacted by multiple NFL teams.
Bates played collegiately at Texas State in 2020 and 2021. He transferred to Arkansas in 2022.
He went undrafted last year and attended training camp with the NFL’s Houston Texans.
Despite Bates’ 62-yard field goal, the Panthers fell to the Birmingham Stallions 20-13.
